: The Malaysian Immigration Department crippled a human trafficking syndicate and arrested 51 illegal immigrants in an operation codenamed “Op Gelombang V” in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, last Wednesday.
He said the illegal immigrants, aged between two and 60 years, were arrested at 10.20 am in a raid conducted at a budget hotel which was used by the syndicate as a transit house for illegal immigrants. All the illegal immigrants are sent to the Tanah Merah Immigration Depot while the five local men are on remand for six days to assist in the investigation.
He said the syndicate, believed to have been active since the middle of last year, targets illegal immigrants from India wanting to enter the country illegally by charging each individual between RM8,000 and RM10,000.
